Sunbathing for babies in the morning
About 1-2 weeks after birth, babies can be exposed to sunlight to help the body synthesize vitamin D from breast milk. From 6 a.m. to before 9 a.m. is a time when sunlight is mild, infrared and ultraviolet rays from the sun are quite weak, suitable for promoting metabolism. In addition, the morning air is still very fresh, as well as the sunlight at this time is not strong enough to cause damage to the delicate skin of the baby. Therefore, putting babies out in the sun for 20-30 minutes every morning is recommended by many doctors. For children who are sunbathing for the first time, it should only last about 10 minutes and gradually increase the duration as they get used to it.
The specific time depends on the geographical location and the seasons of the year, such as:
Summer: The sun will rise earlier and more intense, it is best for parents to take advantage of the sunbathing before 7am. light to avoid the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays on the baby's tender skin. Around 6-7am is the ideal time when the sun has just risen its first rays, then you shouldn't take your baby out anymore. Autumn: It is cold, so you can sunbathe later than the above time, but still not later than 9am. Winter: Weather conditions at this time are often cloudy, cold climate, late sunrise and weak sunshine. Therefore, parents should wait until the weather is warmer before taking their baby out to sunbathe.
